CFC Refugee Ministry
Email: refugeediscipleship@gmail.com
God wants to share the deep love of Jesus with refugees in Lancaster and see it spread like wild fire.
How can your group help:
Prayer encourager. Schedule monthly time to pray for refugees.
Soccer game coordinator: One Saturday this spring CFC folks could help organize pick-up soccer games with Syrian boys on a field at McCaskey High School. 2 hours of time.
Local mission trip coordinator: No experience needed. We are looking for someone willing to help manage a missions project. This will be a 2-evening mission experience in Lancaster. One the first evening a small group meets a Syrian refugee family at their home. The next week that same family is invited to one of our homes for dinner. The goal is to build a relationship, share the gospel, and uncover their long-term needs. 8-10 hours of planning to prepare and coordinate the trip.
Discipleship Trainer: Train refugees how to make disciples among their culture.
Communications Coordinator: Keep making disciples of all nations on people's radar with stories.
Leadership Development Coach: Equip leaders of the refugee ministry to be catalysts of disciple-making and volunteering.

testimonies from cfc volunteers:
“This service opportunity (painting a local refugee’s house) was a fun way to connect with other community group members as well as others who are ministering in our community. Our contribution felt small in light of the entire project but our work was visible and was great to see as a piece of the greater whole.” -Melissa Schlosser
“My wife and I had a great opportunity to serve a refugee family who, unknown to us, was living within 10 minutes of our house.While there we were able to serve, and at the end of our time there, the person coordinating told us an amazing story how the wife and mother saw a vision of Jesus and had been eagerly attending a church. It was such an encouragement to hear that Jesus is moving in small and huge ways throughout our world, even in our backyard, on a daily basis.” -Kent Mast
